2013 NBA Draft

[Cicjose]

C's gave up two second round picks to move up in the draft.

Kelly Olynyk is a great scoring big man!

lol Dallas have no cap space..... thats why the Mavs traded the pick, the Celtics gave up nothing

[Jay]

"Dallas has traded the 16th pick and Jared Cunningham to Atlanta for the 18th pick and No. 44, source says."

[valkorum]

So Dallas have turned #13 to #18 and #44.  Definitely trying to save cap space.... Maybe they want to make a play at Dwight or CP3

players selected in the second round dont do a lot for a number of years at least

Isaiah Thomas (Pick #60) did for Sacramento

Thats exactly right...

[Cicjose]

Boston have already won the draft....  but why have they got another centre?

didnt they get Melo last season?

[valkorum]

Jayman pointed it out in the other thread - the 2nd centre goes to Atlanta via trade.

We traded 2 second rounders to move up 3 spots in the draft, resulting in getting Kelly Olynyk. We need a big man, he has glossy offensive stats.

Yes but Melo isn't good. No feel for the game.

I think kings won the draft, they got the best player at 7 thats pretty good.

Oladipo is better.

Oladipo is better.

But he was never gonna get past the Magic.  McLemore was not supposed to make it past 4 or 5. 

[valkorum]

There was also a lot of talk of Kings working hard to move up the draft so we could get McLemore

Yep Kings got a steal, but how will Mclemore, Tyreke and DMC work? All the 3 want to be THE MAN...

[valkorum]

McLemore is a pure shooter and doesnt require the ball in his hands.  The concern at the Kings is we now have 4 x SG's

Tyreke
McLemore
Jimmer
Thornton

and only 1 genuine PG in Isaiah Thomas

I think that is also Mclemore's weakness, he can't create his own shot like say McCollum?

Jimmer is on the trade table for a 2nd rounder apparently. Ainge should get him... Dem threes :D

[Jay]

Hardaway Jnr to Chicago?

nup. Tony Snell - good shooter
